Well, there are a couple of different versions. Before getting serious in my attempt at catching this guy, I re-read this thread that gives a lot of great ideas:

Basically, all I did was tie some fishing line around the outside of the mouth of a wide-mouth Aquafina water bottle (with no label on so it's totally clear) than throw a frozen cube of mysis in the bottle soaked in a little garlic to make it more irresistible. I submerged the bottle on the bottom of the tank so that the food was at the end of the bottle and watched and waited. The string of fishing line was long enough to come out of the tank and hold while sitting nearby. Eventually I had to leave for a little while and when I returned, the fish I wanted was actually in the bottle eating the mysis! I just yanked on the string, righting the bottle, and pulled him right out. Worked beautifully!
